Elementary, my dear Fnord. Apparently you suffer from the "free speech means I can enter your bedroom at 3 am and start doing my electric guitar rendition of 'stairway to heaven'" theory of expression. In essence, you are accusing any publication that exercises editorial selection of censorship. That's an absurd theory of what free speech means; indeed, it is the negation of free expression, because it prevents people and groups from promoting their own views and thus erects huge obstacles to any attempt to voice diverse ideas.
Bruce has free expression and had already posted his article on his own website, where it is fully accessible. That's the main reason I didn't think it was a good idea to publish it here. Besides that, ICANNWatch has no obligation to post everything anyone posts here. For a publication, free speech means the right to select content. We have every right to refrain from using our own publications and facilities to promote ideas that we think are uninteresting, wrong, silly, and dangerous.
Note that ICW consists of diverse editors. I think it was unfortunate that it was posted, but apparently Michael didn't, so that's how it goes.
